I have a friend who wants to get into commander. He started playing right after Dragons came out and has primarily sealed, pauper, and modern. He's enjoyed playing many decks, from aggro to control, but doesn't really like combo. After being told the rules and spectating on a game, he really wants to play and asked me to help him build a deck. I agreed, but we've had trouble finding a commander. Here's his criteria:
1. No Vultron. He doesn't want to win via commander damage.
2. Two colors. Idk, he just really likes 2 color combinations.
3. Budget. I know all commanders can be budget or can be super expensive, but he's aming for ~$100.
4. No Gaddock Teeg. He actually wants to have friends after his first game.
5. Not too high casting cost. He says 5 max.
6. Not too complex. Has 2-3 main elements/strategies, easy to understand, but still has depth and synergy.
7. Meant to be played with 3 other people, so a 4-person game.
8. Not combo.
Thoughts? Any and all comments are greatly appreciated!
